Description:
This was the fifth in a series of eight images (PHIL# 9088 - 9095) revealing the exhibits inside the U.S. National Building Museum, all of which could be touched by all visitors, including adults, children, and especially those who were mobility, or visually impaired. Consideration paid to those with such impairments during the designing of such a facility, enhanced the enjoyment experienced by all participants, as well as their overall learning experience. Mounted so that standing or seated users could fully appreciate their visit, the exhibits included Braille descriptions, large print signs. Here, two visually-impaired women were interacting with a sculpture entitled, 'A rose from the White House'.
